Output Desired

-----------------------

SNES
Ogre Battle is sold out   <---
Final Fantasy 3 Breaks FF2 Record

SEGA Genesis

Ogre Battle is sold out  <---
Sonic The Hedgehog an instant success

I'm using the Cooktop development environment. Its a freeware, and not supported anymore, but still works nicely. Processor Version: XSLT Processor VersionVendor: TransformiixVendor 

version="1.0" 

 

Under the first <item> element, two <category> elements are present.  My present stylesheet ignores the second category, <category>SEGA</category>.  Since 'Ogre Battle is sold out' also falls under 'SEGA' , it should also be posted under 'SEGA Genesis'

in the output.   

 

I have reviewed possible solutions, but I have not figured it out.  Any help is greatly appreciated.   Thx :)
